Mid Michigan Community Action

Special Announcements

As we weather the COVID19 pandemic together, help Michigan residents by supporting the most vulnerable among us. Through a matching grant from the DTE Foundation, you can double the impact of your gift. To donate please visit Michigan Community Action Greatest Needs Fund. If you would like to support locally, there is an option to select Mid Michigan Community Action from the agency list.
​
Effective March 23rd, in an effort to ensure the health and safety of our customers, volunteers and staff, Mid Michigan Community Action is transitioning to offering services over the phone. Offices will be closed to the public during this time. While our offices are closed, most services are still available. Please contact your local office for more information.

Commodity food distributions are continuing as scheduled with a few changes to ensure the health and safety of all involved: Please remain in your vehicle when you arrive at the site. We will be checking you in from your car and will place your food box in your trunk.  If the line is too full to safely enter, please park your vehicle in a parking spot and wait. Do not block entrances or exits with your vehicle. We will remain on site until all customers have received their food. Private site distributions will also continue. We will modify our procedures for each unique setting.

Following Governor Whitmer's closure of all K-12 schools, Mid Michigan Community Action has closed our preschool classrooms for the remainder of the school year.

Effective 8AM of March 17, we are postponing all tax preparation appointments for at least the next two weeks. No new appointments will be made and customers with existing appointments will be notified of this postponement. Once tax preparation activities resume, priority appointments will be given to those who were scheduled previously.

​We take the safety of our customers, volunteers, and staff very seriously and will continually be monitoring the situation based on guidance from the CDC, state and local governments.

The next Board Meeting is April 23rd at 4:30PM. It is open to the public.

Census 2020

The first mailings for the 2020 Census have gone out which means we are on our way to ensuring everyone is counted!

To complete your Census online, visit My 2020 Census. Enter the Census ID on the letter you received. You can also complete the Census my phone or by mail. To respond by phone, call the number on your Census mailing. If you want to respond by mail but don't receive a paper questionnaire with your first mailing, wait to respond and one will be sent to you in April.

A complete count on the Census means that our communities receive the funds we need to serve everyone through projects from road maintenance to children's healthcare for the next ten years. Make sure everyone in your household is counted.
